I prefer to read LUKE...! This is my fave gospel in bible, since it has very simple explanation and easier to understand, compare to other gospel. For me, John is the most high literature meaning... the words have very deep meaning, i easily get confuse to understand the whole sentence, because even its words are too deep in meaning... its like poem but in story version.
How about you?

I really like the book of John. John seemed to see things from a more spiritual prespective. I guess since the other Gospels were written before John, he did not feel that he needed to repeat everything that Matthew, Mark and Luke had already covered.

I would have to say John. John makes no bones about Jesus being God. One of my favorite stories in John is in John 4, the woman at the well. She was a Samaritan, yet her fore father was Jacob, not a Jew though. She was a descendant of Jacob, and not a Jew, therefore she was from the House of Israel. Not Judah.
To me the connection was made back to the promises in Hosea. "Yet in the place where ye shall be 'not my people' Ye shall be called the sons of the living God."
I also like John 6 where Jesus ditches the people He did the miracles for because they had a mind to force him into being king, and then has to confound them later when they came across the sea because they wanted to make him show them how to make food for themselves.
And then in John 8, he begins to really dig into the Pharisees, making them so angry that they tried to end his life. To me, John 8 and 10 show Jesus making clear who he is, and defining the prophecies of his coming, and what He means to all of us.
At the end of John 15, and in the midst of John 16, Jesus promises us the Holy Spirit. That the Holy Spirit will be with us. The Holy Spirit is God's great proof to us of Him being there, and that He influences us. He's such a genius because only those who trust Him are given that proof. All those other people who murmur about God constantly are the ones without that proof. God decides who He gives proof to. Our proof is that we can understand what He's talking about, and how to weigh what is written.
There are secular studies of the Bible, and they learn all the places, they learn all the deeds, and are quite capable of knowing the Bible better than many, many Christians. But without the Spirit that God promised, they don't know what it all means! They have no sense of value as to what is being said.
So John shows us a lot of things which are conducive to the fact that God is simply God. And only those who trust Him are who He wants.
